public comment.
[1:03] » Well, Mayor Gings, you've seen me a few
times now.
[1:07] » I think most of the other uh council
members have. So, this kind of give a
[1:11] chance for Mr. Paffle to kind of
understand why I'm here. Um, I moved
[1:17] into a duplex about a year and a half
ago uh in the uh Rockville subdivision
[1:23] and um I would like to build a garage um
for storage on that uh property and my
[1:31] particular piece of property is about
the same size as two of the parks here
[1:36] in town. It's a pretty big parcel. And
um so the way the current um ordinance I
[1:44] believe says that a duplex is limited in
size of what they can build as compared
[1:51] to a standalone home. And at the last
planning meeting that I attended, I
[1:57] believe the ordinance recommendation by
the planning committee was to change it.
[2:03] So, duplexes basically were considered
the same as a standalone home. And
[2:09] correct me if I'm wrong, mayor. Um I I
think that's what they had recommended.
[2:14] And so I'm just here tonight to see if
the common council as a whole was going
[2:18] to vote on approving that um
recommendation from the planning
[2:23] committee. So
I believe uh so yeah, that is on our uh
[2:29] on our agenda on Thursday. uh for for
that to uh for the plan commission to
[2:36] approve or approve the ordinance to go
to public hearing which would be 30 days

[8:02] so this master agreement then um one
side sign signed as those little

task order for that type of work
[8:12] whatever um in the um at the end of the
agreement or you can see what their

attorney gets resolved. So I'm just

manage circuit court and judge actually
